Bug ID: 50778 Summary: TortoiseMerge closes before showing a window Product: Wine Version: 6.3 Hardware: x86-64 OS: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: -unknown Assignee: wine-bugs@winehq.org Reporter: lexlexlex@gmail.com Distribution: ---
Created attachment 69576 --> https://bugs.winehq.org/attachment.cgi?id=69576 Terminal log for TortoiseMerge startup and subsequent closing with wine
Steps to reproduce:
1. Install TortoiseSVN in a 64-bit wine prefix. 2. Try to run TortoiseMerge.exe with the wine prefix mentioned in step 1. For example, run "wine TortoiseMerge.exe" from a terminal if the default wine prefix was used.
Current behavior:
TortoiseMerge closes before showing a window. No TortoiseMerge window appears.
Expected behavior:
TortoiseMerge is expected to start, allowing the user to compare and merge files in a windowed GUI.
Additional information:
A download for the current version of the TortoiseSVN installer as of this report is at https://osdn.net/projects/tortoisesvn/storage/1.14.1/Application/TortoiseSVN...
A log showing terminal output when trying to run "wine TortoiseMerge.exe" is attached.
Opinion:
This is one of 2 bugs preventing using TortoiseSVN fully in wine. The other is 50756. If these 2 bugs are fixed, TortoiseSVN could be used fully, easing the transition of users whose jobs rely on SVN to Linux. Currently some companies still use SVN and I've tried all the free SVN clients for Linux, and none of them come close to the level of convenience and intuitiveness that TortoiseSVN provides. I have nemo actions ready to enable full usage in of TortoiseSVN in Linux if these 2 bugs are fixed. This would help me personally tremendously, as digging through old revisions in alternate SVN branches is part of my job and extremely difficult with any SVN client other than TortoiseSVN using TortoiseMerge. Thanks for reading this.
